PS5 Hack Status:

FW Ranges:
2.XX = KEX+HV: PS4/5 backups, possible keys exploit (WK: 2.50 best / 2.7X max)
3.XX = KEX+HV+Linux: PS4/5 backups, possible keys exploit (WK/BD/LUA: 3.20 best / 3.21 max)
4.XX = KEX+HV+Linux: PS4/5 backups (WK/BD/LUA (Y2/NF/YARPE 4.03+): 4.50 best / 4.51 max)
5.XX = KEX+HV+Linux: PS4/5 backups (WK/BD/Y2/NF/LUA/YARPE: 5.50 best + max)
6.XX = KEX: PS4/5 backups (KEX+HV+Linux: 6.02 max) (BD/Y2/NF/LUA/YARPE: 6.02 for Linux / 6.50 max)
7.XX = KEX: PS4/5 backups, no HV (BD/Y2/NF/LUA/YARPE: 7.61 best + max)
8.XX-10.00 = KEX: PS4/5 backups, no HV (Y2/NF/LUA/YARPE)
10.01-12.70 = KEX: PS4/5 backups, no HV (Y2/NF/LUA/YARPE)
13.XX = No KEX/UL only (Y2/LUA/YARPE)

NOTE 1: Recommended firmware is subjective. Staying low is always recommended.
NOTE 2: Do not update too many major versions (e.g., 4.xx to 5.xx or 7.xx to 8.xx). Remain low unless all you want is backups.
NOTE 3: Do not update past 12.00. P2JB can take over an hour to exploit on FW up to 12.70.

Spoiler: System Update Information

To determine your OFW version:
Go to settings > system > console information.

Version string info:
Year.Half (1st/2nd half of the year)-Major Version No.Minor Version No.Extended info-Further Info.Retail/Debug

21.02-04.03.00.00-00.00.00.0.1

It is recommended to keep your console as low as possible to have access to better jailbreak stability and features. Stay as low as possible within the "Golden" firmware brackets that apply to your current firmware, see the top of this page.

(No jailbreak is ever guaranteed. No developer is obliged to release anything publicly)

WARNING:
Only update OFW manually via USB by getting the firmware file from HERE and installing from <USB>:/PS5/UPDATE/PS5UPDATE.PUP
(Updating with RECOVERY PUP will perform a factory format and will wipe your internal HDD)

   Debug settings will be loaded, and the package installer can be found under [SETTINGS] > [DEBUG SETTINGS].
   
3. 
   Important:
   LUA entry point works from 2.00 to the latest OFW, but there is no KEX above 12.70 yet.
   (A compatible PS4 game is required to launch the exploit on PS5. See below)
   
   Your PS5 console must be activated to use save copying for PS4 games.
   
   1. Insert your game disc and, as soon as possible, make a save file within it.
   2. Copy the save files to USB, go to [SETTINGS] > [STORAGE] > [CONSOLE STORAGE] > [SAVE DATA] > [PS4 GAMES] > select the game save and copy to a USB drive.
   3. On PC, using a Google Drive account, make a new folder with the GAME ID of your game, and upload the savedata & savedata.bin files to that folder.
   4. Share the folder, set it to editor mode, share with anyone, and click "copy the link".
   5. Join the HTOS Discord group: HERE type "/decrypt", select "FALSE" for including SCE_SYS, paste or type in the Google Drive link, and press enter. The bot should begin mounting your save. (If it doesn't, paste in the link again.)
   6. Click "ENCRYPTED" to remove the Sony PFS layer. Download the generated files and extract the folder to your desktop (you should have 4 files in there and be named dec_savedata_CUSA[GAME ID]).
   7. Using REMOTE LUA LOADER, open the savedata folder, copy the 20 files within into your encrypted save folder on your desktop.
   8. Upload the encrypted save folder (now with 24 files in) to your Google Drive. It should be named "dec_savedata_CUSA[GAME ID]" where GAME ID is your games 5 digit number, and set it to editor mode, share with anyone, and then click "copy the link".
   9. Go back to the HTOS discord server, and type "/encrypt", hit "FALSE" for uploading individually, and "FALSE" to include SCE_SYS. Finally, hit shared_gd_link and paste in your link to the original save (4 files) folder. (If it doesn't, paste in the link again.)
   10. When this is done, paste the link to the decrypted save (24 files) folder, and the bot will encrypt the files.
   11. Resign the files by typing "/resign" followed by your account name on the console, or PSN ID associated with that account if using the latest OFW.
   12. Download the resigned files, extract the files to your USB drive and overwrite them into the savedata folder on your USB or external drive.
   13. Copy the saves back to your console [SETTINGS] > [SAVE DATA AND GAME/APP SETTINGS] > [SAVE DATA PS4] > [COPY OR DELETE FROM USB] > [COPY TO CONSOLE STORAGE] > select your game save folder from the USB drive and copy/overwrite old save data.
   14. Load LUA game again, and you should see the LUA LOADER screen.
   15. You can use "SEND_LUA.PY" to send the UMTX files to the loader.
   (NOTE: Some games require manual loading of save game)
   
   On firmware up to 7.61, you can now load UMTX/2 followed by etaHEN by sending the files to your console IP on PORT 9026.
   On firmware 8.00-LATEST, you can connect with the REMOTE LUA LOADER APP to send debug notifications or FTP on port 1337.

   Debug settings will be loaded, and the package installer can be found under [SETTINGS] > [DEBUG SETTINGS].
   
8. 
   Important:
   This method modifies the BD-J stack to allows BD-JB entry point to be re-enabled on consoles up to 13.40, for conveninece only.
   
   Very Important:
   This method requires your console to be jailbroken by another method first to gain access to alter the files.
   
   https://github.com/Gezine/BD-UN-JB
   
   Preparation:
   Burn the ISO to a blank Blu Ray, insert it into the jailbroken console. Send the bdj_unpatch.elf to elfldr using netcat GUI to PS5's IP Address & port 9021 to unpatch BD-J.
   
   (NOTE: DO NOT REINSTALL/UPDATE FW, IT WILL WIPE THE PATCH AND LOSE BD-JB)
   

Once jailbroken it is recommended to run KSTUFF LITE and SHADOWMOUNTPLUS at minimum to get you up and running.
(ShadowMountPlus: is an automated background auto-mounter payload for jailbroken PS5 consoles. Detects, mounts, and installs game dumps from internal or external storage, with support for UFS, exFAT, PFS, and nested compressed PFS containers)

Additional Information:

Blocking Updated with nanoDNS:
Set primary DNS manually to 127.0.0.1. Send latest elf to BIN LOADER using netcat GUI to PS5's IP Address & port 9021.

PS4 GAME INFORMATION:
OFW 1.xx cannot run PS4 games.
OFW 2.xx runs PS4 games up to 8.03
OFW 3.xx runs PS4 games up to 8.52
OFW 4.xx runs PS4 games up to 9.04
OFW 5.xx runs PS4 games up to 9.60
OFW 6.xx runs PS4 games up to 10.50
OFW 7.xx runs PS4 games up to 11.00
OFW 8.xx/9.xx runs PS4 games up to 11.50
OFW 10.xx runs PS4 games up to 12.00
OFW 11.xx runs PS4 games up to 12.50
OFW 12.xx runs PS4 games up to 13.00

(Note: PS4 backported FPKGs also work perfectly on an exploited PS5 with Kstuff)

You can install free/demo PKGS (legit pkgs) via the debug pkg installer, provided you have all the files/json/licences required.
(Astro’s Playroom has no licences and can be installed and played from official pkgs and updated inline with your firmware)

Warnings:

1: Never enable IDU mode.
If you do, you will need to enter staff mode by holding L1 + L2 and tapping this combo: circle, cross, square, triangle, right D-Pad. Release L1 + L2, and you can access settings to exit IDU.

2: Try to stay on the lowest FW possible and wait for hacks on that firmware.

3: PS5 FPKGs do not work. A hack for the A53 processor does not publicly exist to enable installing PS5 content as FPKG/PKG.

4: Installing legit game PKGs you do not own will never work, even if spoofed.

5: If you get stuck in a boot loop at the PS logo, the SNVS is corrupted (if the hash check fails on boot, this causes a “soft brick”). It’s not “bricked”. Simply reinstall your current firmware RECOVERY PUP in safe mode from USB: PS5 > UPDATE > PS5UPDATE.PUP.

well, the github says that it's a novelty release and not to expect it to run well.

 

[Deleted member 344130]

well, the github says that it's a novelty release and not to expect it to run well.

Of course if your chip is pantium processor 1 or somehow lower. Maybe probably.

 

[godreborn]

believe me, it's related to the cycles from what I understand. that's why sound is disabled by default, so that it runs better. it says this on the github.

I just bought PS5 last night with dvd drive $525.00 at Walmat with no protection warranty on 10-20-22 i never open the box because I know it is 23 months since it first released and is there way to check what firmware it is on without opening the box like for sample switch you can check before you buy it.

If it's new, I highly doubt it's on 4.03 or lower.

what firmware is it now lately right now??

 

[godreborn]

what firmware is it now lately right now??

6.02 iirc. It's most likely on 5.xx I'd think, but there may be no way to know unless you hook it up.

thank you for quick respond

A bundle might be the best choice, but even I've heard new ones come updated. Sad thing is that you may have to go on ebay, and I'm sure the people on there know what they've got considering they never updated and possibly never unboxed it. If a normal ps5 is like 800 due to scarcity, those low firmware ones could be over 1000, especially if they've never been updated.

I just bought PS5 last night with dvd drive $525.00 at Walmat with no protection warranty on 10-20-22 i never open the box because I know it is 23 months since it first released and is there way to check what firmware it is on without opening the box like for sample switch you can check before you buy it.

There is a method to work out the date it was made. If you look on the box for a sticker which has some info about the console, you should find something beginning with "S01-". You can use this below to work out when it was made and therefore which firmware it likely has on it. You want something made before March 2022 as that is the transition betwen 4.51 and 5.00.

Good luck with that before I got banned I removed it might be one reason pony decided to finally ban me. When a. Ps3 dev mentioned that he found a psn hack to get cc info and sold it on dark W. I decided to remove it.

Yeah

unfortunately, all scenes, but the playstation ones especially, have several unscrupulous and disingenuous people.

True that. He did try to warn the scene though and from what he said made couple million by selling it on DW.

it never ceases to amaze me that I'm the one attacked when I call out these cunts for their bullshit. I've done so with many people over the years.

Isn't funny the people who help get crapped on and the one's who rip people off get all the cred. Most gov officials some way they lie and cheat people but the low gov officials do all the work and get almost no cred for it. Seams to me the way this world is!

yeah, I was a part of the ps3 inner circle for a time, so I know who's full of shit, even if normal users don't know. I mean there was a csv file going around among a select few with virtually every pkg link from sony servers and rap file, so you didn't have to use those god damn fixes, which is another thing I have a problem with. because someone's penis is so small, he has to make a name for himself by taking over the scene to where you can only get new content in the form of fixes, which in some cases are gigabytes in size as opposed to a rap which is 16 bytes. that is total shit, and several devs allowed it to happen.
